Trees and Shrubs
A division of the Camden Park catalogues that is not clearly defined. In broad terms it includes all plants with woody stems except conifers and fruit trees and shrubs.
Rosa ‘Robin Hood’
Hybrid Perpetual. ‘Robin Hood’ has rosy carmine flowers, a graceful habit, and splendidly-shaped, globular, cupped blooms borne in clusters. [Paul (1848, 1863), Henry Curtis p.5 vol.2/1853].
Rosa ‘Rose De Meaux’
A Centifolia dwarf shrub. It has pink flowers, very small and full, form compact, almost scentless, growth habit erect on a dwarf shrub. [Gore, Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Willmot].
Rosa ‘Rose Delille’
A Provence rose. ‘Rose Delille’ has middle-sized to large, full flowers, light red or deep vivid pink in colour. [Gore].
Rosa ‘Rose du Roi’
Catherine Gore places it among her Portland roses and Rivers considers it to be a perpetual Damask rose, and casts doubt on its origin from the Portland rose. ‘Rose du Roi’ is a small shrub with bright red, highly-scented flowers, according to Gore often more vividly coloured later in the season. [Gore, Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Paul (1848, 1863, 1903), Amat].
Rosa ‘Rose Edouard’
Catherine Gore describes the ‘Isle de Bourbon rose’ as having long, divergent stems, very crooked thorns, and middle-sized, cup-shaped, semi-double or double flowers of a brilliant deep pink. The ‘Rose Edouard’ in my garden exactly corresponds to this description, with flowers of a rich, glowing pink, somewhat similar in colour to its ‘Parson’s Pink’ parent, but much brighter. It has an upright habit with very lax and thorny stems, flowers continuously from early spring to late autumn, with large flushes at these seasons, but somewhat prone to bud drop in damp weather. Mrs Gore doesn’t mention its beautiful perfume.
Rosa ‘Safrano’
A Tea rose ‘Safrano’ has particularly beautiful apricot-coloured buds, changing to pale buff on opening. The flowers are described as cupped, large and double in contemporary literature. In my garden the flowers very quickly become fully blown and untidy after opening, a phenomenon noted by Thomas Rivers: ‘The buds of this rose are of a deep fawn before expansion, and then very beautiful; but they soon fade on opening, and lose all their beauty.’ [Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Henry Curtis p.15 vol.1/1850, Amat].
Rosa ‘Smith's Yellow’
Tea rose, often classified as a Noisette. A beautiful double yellow rose it was described as ‘a hybrid production, from the Noisette rose (‘Blush Noisette’), fertilized with the pollen of the yellow China Rose (‘Parke's Yellow China’). It resembles the former in many respects, but is of much more vigorous growth, and the flowers much more copious, of a deeper yellow, and disposed, like the Noisette Rose, in corymbs.’ [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903)].
Rosa ‘Solfaterre’
Usually classified as a Noisette, but included among the Indicas (Chinas) in Macarthur’s hand-written 1861 list. ‘Solfaterre’ has bright straw-coloured flowers with a deeper sulphur centre, rather tender. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888), Rivers (1854, 1857, 1863), Henry Curtis p.1 vol.2/1853, Amat].
Rosa ‘Souvenir de la Malmaison’
Bourbon rose, described by William Paul one of the best roses yet raised and by Thomas Rivers as the finest of all delicate-coloured roses. [Paul (1848, 1863, 1888, 1903), Rivers (1854, 1857), Henry Curtis p. 17 vol.2/1853, Amat]. Flowers delicate flesh, margins almost white, excellent for massing. It was recommended as a late-flowering rose in The Gardeners’ Chronicle. [Gard. Chron. 1858]. A climbing form is more commonly grown today.
Rosa ‘Souvenir de la Reine d’Angleterre’
Hybrid Perpetual. The flowers of ‘Souvenir de la Reine d’Angleterre’ are bright glossy rose in colour, cupped, very large and full in form, the petals of great substance. A fine hardy rose and vigorous grower. [Paul (1863, 1888), Rivers 1863, Amat].
Rosa ‘Souvenir de la Reine des Belges’
Hybrid Perpetual. According to the Floricultural Cabinet the flowers are a brilliant carmine. Other writers describe the flowers as rose-coloured. [Paul (1848, 1863), FC p.61/1855].
Rosa ‘Striped Unique’
Centifolia rose. The flowers of ‘Striped Unique’ were described by Catherine Gore as middle-sized and full, white, striped and veined inside with bright pink.
Rosa ‘Sydonie’
In 1848 Paul described the flowers of ‘Sidonie’ as salmon-rose in colour, large and full, superb. It produces a vigorous, upright bush. In 1863 he described the flowers of ‘Sydonie’, a Hybrid Perpetual rose, as pink, large and full. I have little doubt that this is the same rose.
